"Talking"
'Thinking'
(Scene Break)
It has been several months since Retsu first appeared in this village. After a few weeks of living on the streets, Retsu began to learn the language that people spoke. If someone had asked her how she came to be in the village, Retsu would shrug and say 'I don't know.' Because the last thing that she remembered was being thrown inside her cupboard under the stairs after receiving a beating from her Uncle's belt, but before she blackout from the pain, she had wished that she was somewhere else. So the next thing that she woke up, she saw that she was in a dirty alleyway.
After three weeks, the little three and a half year old, had a very good understanding of the language that was spoken. She gave herself the name of Retsu after an elderly lady that used to give her some food, passed away. And she wanted to keep her memory alive through that.
Living on the streets was tough. Retsu had to dig through the garbage bins for any food that was thrown away. For once in her life, she did not have to depend on her Aunt or her Uncle on food, even if it was rotten food that they gave her.
Retsu remembered being scared to death of those people who jumped from roof to roof. Soon she learned that those people were Shinobi or ninja and that they can perform amazing tricks like moving earth and creating stone walls and make dragons that were made out of water. Basically, the Shinobis protected their village from outside threats.
Retsu thought it would be nice to become a Shinobi herself and help protect the village as well. She even began training, by moving earth and water like them, but so far, Retsu only can make a few small stones float and spin in mid air, while for the water, Retsu can make a small amount float in mid air, before becoming too tire to try more. She can even grow small trees sometimes. It was a good start, but she knew that she could never become a Shinobi like them. But that was all going to change for little Retsu.
(Scene Break)
It was around midnight and Retsu could not go to sleep in her cardboard box that was lined with old, dirty, worn out blankets that she found in the garbage bags. This night was different from the other nights as people were still up and partying. Usually hardly anyone was up at this time of the night. But earlier in the day, she overheard that a village called Kumogakure had signed a treaty with Konohagakure. Whatever that meant, she did not know, but it must be a good thing if people were this happy.
Retsu decided to walk down a silent street that was lined with walls that surrounded a lot of buildings, from what she understood a clan, whatever that was, lived in there.
Suddenly, a movement caught her eye. There in an alleyway, a man dressed in total black was carefully climbing down the wall. Retsu had squinted to see that the person was carrying a small bundle on his shoulders. Retsu did not understand what was happening, but Retsu knew that it must be something bad. Trying to sneak closer, the bag moved and Retsu saw a scared face of a little girl around her age, who had tears running down her face.
Retsu's eyes widened as she figured out what was going on. This bad man was taking the girl away from her family. She needed to help the girl get away from the bad man.
The man had jumped onto he ground with making no sound and spotted her. He was about to say something when Retsu made him sink into the ground up to his knees. Using the last bit of that energy, Retsu turned the ground around the man into hard stone.
"You little brat! When I get out of this, I'll kill you!" The man shouted in anger.
Retsu felt weak and tired. 'I must have used too much energy.' Retsu thought to herself.
(Scene Break)
Hiashi Hyuga had just came back from the Council Chambers with the report of why the Kumo Ambassador tried to kidnap his oldest daughter, Hinata. He was very glad that orphan girl was there to stop the man. The girl oblivious had been living on the streets for months. The girl had an unique ability with controlling earth like that.
"What is the report, Hiashi –sama?" One of the Hyuga Elders demanded as soon as Hiashi entered the meeting room where all of the Hyuga Elders were gathered.
Hiashi began to report, "After the Kumo Ambassador met with Ibiki, he admitted that he was going to use my daughter to help him to overthrow the current Raikage and then become the next Raikage."
One of the younger elders sneered as he asked, "So that piece of trash was going to try to overthrow his Kage for what reason?"
The Hyuga Elders saw the disgust on Hiashi's face when he answered, "The Kumo Ambassador is a member of a bloodline clan in Kumo. Apparently, the current Raikage, A –Sama, is not giving the bloodline clans any special treatment that they believe that they deserve. Another reason for trying to overthrow the Raikage is that they want to kill their two jinchuurikis as they see no use for them."
That caused the Hyuga Elders to muttered among themselves. If Kumo got rid of their jinchuurikis that would leave them open for an attack from one of the other nations that have jinchuuriki. It is well known among the Shinobis, that jinchuurikis are the protectors of the Hidden Villages and they keep the other major villages from attacking them. Sure, the civilian populace doesn't understand the main reason of having a jinchuuriki around, but the Shinobi force does.
One of the elders asked Hiashi, "What are we going to do with the orphaned girl that saved Hinata –Sama, Hiashi –Sama?"
"We are going to adopt her into the clan," Hiashi said immediately.
"What!? We can't accept an outsider into the clan! Its unthinkable! We won't allow it!" The Elders yelled out angrily.
"Has Danzo shown interest in taking the girl, Hiashi?" A quiet voice broke through the yelling. Everyone turned to the doorway to see Hiashi's mother standing there with a serious expression on her face. Rukia Hyuga, the oldest living Hyuga around (But she would not admit that to anyone and if anyone would say that, they would be in the hospital for two months.) and someone that you do not want anger.
"Yes, mother. Danzo –san has shown interesting taking her under his wing," Hiashi replied immediately.
If there is one thing that Rukia hated the most in this world. It would be Danzo and his ROOT Forces. It was common knowledge and the worst kept in history that Danzo still has his ROOT Forces up and running even after he was ordered to shut his operation down by the Fourth Hokage.
Rukia studied the faces of the Hyuga Elders, before she spoke up, "How about a compromise. The girl will be adopted and given the Hyuga clan name. But she is to be put into the Branch House and have the Caged Bird Seal placed on her immediately. She is, also, to wed Neji Hyuga when she reaches the rank of chunin or when she turns sixteen, which ever comes first."
There were murmurs of agreement among the Elders. Hiashi knew that there was nothing that could be done after his mother spoke. He really did not want that blasted seal be placed on that girl, but the elders were stuck in the old ways. But he told himself that its better to have the Caged Bird Seal and emotions than be one of Danzo's soulless soldiers.
"Have the seal done immediately," Rukia commanded. From the reports that she had read, the child had an unique ability with earth. There is a slight chance that the child might have the Mokuton bloodline and that would be the last bloodline that she wants Danzo to get his greedy hands on.
